Daddy, I love you,
you raised me to be good.
you raised me to have manners,
to say please and thank you too.
because of you,
I'm a good girl now.
I have a daughter,
I want you to meet.
Daddy your gone,
I know.
But she looks just like you,
your hair, your eyes, your nose.
I hope to give her the knowledge,
the knowledge you bestowed to me.
I hope to teach her right from wrong,
just like you taught me daddy.
Daddy, I love you,
you raised me to be good.
